"This was the home that Joel Bowman bought in the Porter area of Estacada in 1899 coming from Portland with his wife and 3 year old son, Oliver Bowman. Oliver grew up in this home with 6 more siblings that came along and then losing their mother when Oliver was 14 years old and the youngest of 3. Joel never remarried so everyone had to help out. Oliver lived in this house until he built a new home on the place about 1950. Then he continued to live on the place until he was 100 years old.
